A Troubadour's Creed

[Terry Allan Hall]

Wish I was the one to first come up with this, but wanted to share it w/ y'all, anyway:

"There's important work to be done anywhere…in the most unusual of places. That's the bard's mission: uplift; bring joy; mend the heart; put the overwhelming and irreversible heartbreak of life in context....celebrate to best of it. Music is a gift of the Kahuna...and it's as essential to existence as copulation."

Some gent calling himself thumb1 is where I got it. :)

[Freeman Keller]

Well, it fits some gent called TAH, or at least what I know of him.

Sounds like a solicitation to play for free to me. I am not a bard. First person who calls me a bard gets it. Because I play a guitar does not thrust upon me the conscription to slip into mintrel's garb and merry melody myself to the world's savage breasts. It's gonna cost someone a damned pretty penny to get me into green leotards and a frilly shirt. Bard, right.

Play for free?

Not me...I'm a gleeful capitalist, as were the troubadours of all ages! The two concepts CAN work together! :cool:

BTW, green leotards and a frilly shirt cost extra...A LOT EXTRA! :thu:
